the fruit

I'm trying to show the size of these huge Asian pears. 

We are back in a land of wonderful tropical fruit. Mango season in Thailand was in April, but apparently it is right now in Taiwan!  We are so happy!  

We are finding groceries to be more expensive than the U.S., but it also takes a while to learn the best places to shop. There are traditional markets that seem to have the best produce. The neighborhood grocery store is walking distance and has the basics, but is expensive.  Costco has some American and some local products but not always the best prices, plus it is far from us, and we won't have our car for a couple months.
